Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Curation of Reclamation Natural History Collections at the South Dakota School of Mines, Museum of Geology" (Funding Opportunity Number R10SS60003) is a discretionary, non-competitive Notice of Intent to Award issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region. Because it is a Notice of Intent to Award, it is not an open solicitation where multiple applicants compete; instead, it signals the Bureau of Reclamation's plan to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific organization, the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Museum of Geology. The purpose of the agreement is to support the curation of Bureau of Reclamation natural history collections that are already held at the Museum of Geology.
The activity is categorized under "Other" with a specific explanation of "Curation," and it is associated with CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management. The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the Bureau of Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as participating in project coordination, providing technical input, or collaborating on curation standards and deliverables.
The announcement lists an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $38,000. The award ceiling is $38,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating the intended award amount is up to the full $38,000 but does not guarantee a minimum. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
Eligibility is described broadly in the source data as including federal or state agencies and educational or scientific organizations, though in practice this particular notice is directed to the named museum as the intended recipient. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010, reflecting the short administrative window typical of non-competitive intent-to-award postings rather than a standard competitive cycle.
For additional information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
